You don't seem to be understanding my logic. Let me put it in a simpler way for you.

There isn't a problem when people each make numerous threads with information THAT IS EXISTENT because, well, the information is existent, and, as active, contributing members of the community, it is a given that they would and should decide to contribute what they have and share it with everyone else.

There is, however, a problem, when someone makes a thread, that says such and such, when the content of his post does NOT contain such and such.

How is it 'better organisation' and how does it make for more constructive discussion when the mislabeled thread title has already proven to be such a major distraction that DETRACTS people from discussing the actual single itself (note that I have chosen to take that issue in this subforum instead of in that thread itself; not everybody might choose to do the same). You have to at least concede that the thread needs to be renamed. Mods, please acknowledge this.

There is also a problem when someone thinks that it is okay for some people to usurp the contributions of other people and subsume them under his own 'mega thread' (I mean, if the owner of the forum, or a mod chooses to to that, it is his/her prerogative), but then go on to say that there is something inherently wrong when other people want to contribute by starting their own threads.

I don't want to come across as being rude or disagreeable but I do feel that the points I have brought up above compromises the integrity of this forum as a place for like-minded people to contribute and to have valuable discussions about the artist they love. Perhaps it would be fine if all people wanted was to come here, leech off everybody else, the news they provide, the downloads etc, but I'm pretty certain that's not what the forum was started for to begin with. Nor is this what the mods should stand for.
